Is it just me or is it getting warmer
Seems the world has slowly backed into a corner
Is it beyond us now to make it better
If we put our heads and hearts together
Let’s leave it all behind when we go
The lights of the city touch the alpenglow
Let’s leave it all behind for these sons and daughters
The forsaken lovers
Let’s leave it all behind

Freedom rings -- truth be told
From the mother ship we stripped the gold
The bell is silent now; it has to be
‘Cause this alone will be our legacy

Let’s leave it all behind when we go
The lights of the city touch the alpenglow
Let’s leave it all behind for these sons and daughters
The forsaken lovers
Let’s leave it all behind

We could walk away, scot-free
Into the burned up ashes of history
And in the aftermath, a kiss goodbye
Haunted by the living lest we try

Let’s leave it all behind when we go
The hope and the passion and all we know
Let’s leave it all behind
And save these holy waters
For our sons and daughters
Let’s leave it all behind
Let’s leave it all behind
